Hello GlobalGiving Supporters,
I am happy to report I have been commissioned to create a television hour with BBC Africa Eye looking at FGM in Sierra Leone and the story I am telling with Speaking through Dreams. My team could not be more thrilled to bring attention to this topic, together in partnership with such an amazing program and broadcaster. I want you all to know that am still intending to create a hybrid feature-length film titled Speaking Through Dreams, and ask that you continue to join me on this new journey.
Unfortunately, in Sierra Leone, more stories of women who have died as a result of cutting are still happening and our project is also going to shine a light of these stories, like what happened to Maseray who like my Fatmata died back in December 2021. She left a five months old son and a four year old daughter (please see attached photo). I remain as committed as ever and making sure lives are not negatively affected by this practice will continue to be my motivation.
Sincerely,
Tyson
